Days and days of staring out the backdoor finally pay off. The American Goldfinches are back in my yard!
I headed out to fill the mixed seed feeders and as a Mourning Dove and I sized each other up (it decided I was OK today) I heard a sound I hadn't heard in a long time. Since last April, I think.
By the time I got to the backdoor again it was LOUD. One sharp vocalization that quickly ushered in a Goldfinch which lit in the oak branch overhead. After a few minutes inside, I looked back out and it was busy at the nyjer feeder.
Sigh.
I can finally relax...
For pictures of the Goldfinches from last year, the first time I ever got them to join us in the backyard, head here.
Many more to follow from this year, I hope.
